Chapter 1, Problem 50PP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To identify the expected hybridization state and geometry of the central atom in compounds.

Concept introduction:

The atomic orbitals mix together to form a hybrid orbital which is suitable for forming bonds between the atoms to form a compound.  This mixing of hybrid orbitals is known as hybridization.  The hybridization determines the geometry of the particular atom in the compound.  Shortly to say

$s{p}^{3}hybridized$ =tetrahedral

trigonal pyramidal(if one lone pair of electron is present)

bent geometry (if two lone pair of electrons are present)

$s{p}^{2}hybridized$ =trigonal planar

$sp$ $hybridized$ =linear

To determine: The hybridization and geometry of the central atom.
